Have you ever written something on social media and regretted it right after you hit post? When you’re creating or responding to a social media post, you can’t rely on body language, tone, and word inflections to help properly deliver your message. It’s important to keep that in mind and choose your words carefully so that you don’t have those regrets. Dr. Nadia Mendiola from Northern Light Acadia recently stopped by WABI TV5 to discuss how to build healthy connections on social media, sharing tons of information you can use when you’re on social media.

Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday, November 3, at 2 am. While gaining an extra hour of sleep may sound appealing, the shorter days can impact our mental health. If you struggle with depression or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), you may notice increased symptoms. We encourage you to take extra care of yourself during this time. Here are some tips: • Maintain a regular sleep schedule and make your bedroom a calming space. • Get outside during daylight hours, especially when it's sunny. • Exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet. • Stay connected with friends and loved ones for support. • Consider light therapy or talk to your healthcare provider about other treatment options. Let's take care of ourselves and each other during this seasonal shift. #DaylightSavings #SeasonalAffectiveDisorder #NorthernLightHealth
